Printing problem with HP

Hello people, my problem is: I trying to print on my new HP p1606dn, I
am running on Ubuntu 9.10 and I had installed HLIP 3.11.5 from HP but the
printer answer me: "*** Unable to open initial device,
quitting." ....any help please?!!!

I'm running on CentOS 5.3 x86_64 and attempting to get my HP Officejet Pro
8500A to work using HPLIP 3.11.5. My failure happens during the
./configure step where is posts an error message stating that it cannot
find the libcups modules. But, when I do a find on those same modules I
find them on both the /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 locations. Strange
behavior.
